LiveSimply Award

## Live Simply, Care Deeply

**The LiveSimply Award recognises Catholic communities that choose to live sustainably, stand in solidarity with our global family and care for our common home.**

The Bishops of England and Wales encourage parishes and schools to work towards the award as a practical way of putting Catholic Social Teaching into action and caring for the world God has entrusted to us.

“Protecting this world which God has entrusted to us.”

Living our faith through action

**Live Simply**  Making thoughtful choices about how we use resources and encouraging simpler, more sustainable ways of living.

**Live Sustainably**  Caring for our common home and taking practical action to protect the environment for future generations.

**Live in Solidarity**  Standing alongside people locally and globally and working together for a fairer and more compassionate world.

### Our LiveSimply Commitment

As part of our commitment to becoming a more sustainable Trust, we are delighted that our schools are working towards the LiveSimply Award.

The award is granted by CAFOD and encourages Catholic communities, including schools, to live simply, sustainably and in solidarity with others for the benefit of everyone.
